The Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses (LNCMI) develops different types of coils suited to specific experiments. We present some recent developments on magnet design. Several coils are dedicated to experiments in large scale facilities in France and Switzerland. A 30 T split-pair coil for X-rays diffraction and one 40 T coil for plasma physics at the LULI, two 30 T coils with axial access (one with an conical bore) for X-ray diffraction and absorption experiments. A 40 T wide angle conical access solenoid with a high duty-cycle for neutron scattering at the ILL is being constructed. For use at the installation in Toulouse we have developed, apart from our standard 60 and 70 T coils, several special coils: a coil with a long optical path with 30 T transverse magnetic field and a 90 T long pulse dual coil system.
